Federal police officers executed a search warrant at the bureau's Collins Street headquarters in Melbourne on Wednesday last week (February 28). The officers spoke to two IT employees, according to people with knowledge of the raid.

At least one of the employees who was questioned by the AFP has since gone on leave. No charges have been laid but the investigation is continuing.”..
